MGF
Key Takeaways: MGF
MGF is a Other peptide primarily researched for:
- Activates muscle stem cells (Satellite cells)
- Repair of damaged muscle fibers
- Inhibition of cell death (Apoptosis)
Research Profile
MGF (Mechano Growth Factor) is a splice variant of IGF-1 that is naturally produced when muscle is subjected to mechanical stress or damage.
The “Repair” Pulse
MGF triggers the activation of dormant satellite cells, which then fuse with existing muscle fibers to repair them or create new ones. It is the body’s primary signal for initiating localized recovery after an injury or a high-intensity research protocol.
High Fragility
MGF is one of the most fragile peptides in research. It degrades extremely quickly once in solution. Researchers must maintain a strict cold chain and use the compound immediately after reconstitution to ensure its biological activity is preserved.
